I have put together an 8-week plan just for you! Like they say, ‘An activity a day keeps the boredom away!’ Or maybe it’s only me that says that, but everyone should say it!
Anyway, check out the link below to grab your printable version of the calendar. That way, you can post it somewhere visible in your home and refer to the website for specific instructions. Or print off the blank calendar version and fill it out in a way that better supports what your summer looks like. There is no wrong way to do it!
